Questions & answers

Yes. Every recipe on Plannerly is free to read, print and cook. There's no sign-up and no account.

Each recipe says how many it serves. Use the 'Cooking for' buttons (1 to 8 people) and the amounts, packs to buy and prices all update.

Many of them, yes. Recipes that freeze well are marked Freezer-friendly, and you can filter for them on the recipes page. Cool food quickly, freeze it in portions, defrost in the fridge and reheat until piping hot.

Yes. Use the Vegetarian filter on the recipes page to see them all.

Yes. Open Recipes and choose 'Desserts & baking' in the menu on the left to see cakes, cookies, crumbles and more, all priced the same way as the meals.

Each recipe lists which of the 14 main allergens its usual ingredients contain. Brands differ, so always check the labels on what you buy.

It marks recipes with no added sugar, 45g of carbs or less and plenty of fibre per serving. Carbs and sugars are estimates for carb counting, not medical advice. If you have diabetes, follow your GP or dietitian's advice.

No, they're estimates for a typical version of each ingredient, so treat them as a guide.

We look up each ingredient's shelf price at up to 6 UK supermarkets, using the supermarkets' own listings and price-comparison sites. Every price is read off its page, never guessed, and each recipe shows the date it was checked.

At the moment: Asda, Co-op, Iceland, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco. A supermarket appears on a recipe once every ingredient has a checked price there, and more prices are added every day.

Lidl doesn't sell groceries online or publish its shelf prices, so there's no reliable price we can check. We'd rather leave it out than guess.

Prices change, offers come and go, and some supermarkets charge differently online and in store. Loyalty-card prices aren't included. Use our figures to compare shops, then check the shelf price when you buy.

The basket total is what you pay at the till for full packs. 'Cost of what this recipe uses' and 'per serving' only count the part of each pack the recipe needs, which is fairer when you'll use the rest another day.

Every recipe's prices are re-checked about once a week, and the date is shown on the recipe.

Yes. On any recipe, tap the supermarkets you use and the prices and totals update. Your choice is remembered in your browser.

No. We're independent. Supermarkets don't pay us, and we don't change any prices or rankings.

Pick a few recipes and how many people each is for. You get one combined shopping list showing how many packs to buy, what will be left over and which supermarket is cheapest for the whole shop.

Tick what you already have and it shows recipes that use it up, so less goes in the bin.

A list of the recipes that cost the least per serving at the moment, using the latest checked prices.

Small amounts of things most kitchens already have, like spices, oil or stock cubes. They aren't in the prices, so tick them off before you shop.
